Some years ago I watched a TV show (PBS, maybe?) about Cubans who DIYed replacement parts for old American cars - doing things like fabricating a bumper for a '59 Cadillac, making new windshields by taking windshields from something else by heating, re-forming over forms and cutting, and so on. One artisan they interviewed made new brake pads on existing shoes. He showed the crew his process, which began by taking a big bag of asbestos out from under a bench and dumping some in a bowl....:O
